DIY Nursery

Description

This nursery was an absolute work of love by my mom. She is a DIY queen and the result is a room that is completely DIY, hand-me-down or re-purposed. The only thing bought was the bookshelf.

Design Inspiration

The inspiration for this nursery were a couple of really neat fabrics I bought for the bedding/drapes/rug. Everything else was derived from those colors/style.

Decorating Style

Non "themey", homemade, sweet, classic

Favorite Items

Oh my goodness, that's like choosing a favorite child. Can we make it a tie between the bird mobile, all the custom bedding and Moroccan pouf?!

Advice

Definitely invest in some good fabric and then base everything off of that.
